How to Make Homemade Pasta

Instructions

• 1

  Add flour to a bowl
  
  Add two cups of flour to a large bowl and also add a pinch of salt. Once the mixture settles in nicely, make a well in the flour so that you can see the bottom of the bowl clearly.
• 2

  Add eggs in the bowl
  
  Take three eggs and drop them inside the well you have created. You can beat the eggs in a separate bowl before adding them to the flour.
• 3

  Mix water and oil
  
  Now, mix some water and oil with the eggs and start spreading the flour on top of the liquid ingredients.
• 4

  Make the dough
  
  Once you have covered the wet ingredients with flour, start mixing them with your hands. You can use the mixer too, but the former option is a lot better, as it will allow you to make perfect dough.
• 5

  Cover the dough with plastic sheet
  
  You will now have to cover the dough with a plastic sheet for 15-20 minutes. Afterwards, remove the sheet and roll the dough.

  Cut strips from the rolled dough
  
  Using a sharp knife, cut strips from the dough. You don’t have to worry about the shape of the strips, as they don’t make any difference to the overall taste.

  Allow the strips to dry
  
  Let the strips dry for some time otherwise you will not be able to cook them properly, if there is moisture left in them.

  Boil and serve
  
  Finally, you can boil the pasta and serve it to your family.
